23 Jul /- Medical Materials and Porous Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering made from the Biodegradable Glycolide/-Caprolactone Copolymer
Abstract
PURPOSE: A porous supporter for tissue engineering obtained from a copolymer of biodegradable glycolide/ε-caprolactone having excellent mechanical properties such as flexibility and elasticity and biodegradability is provided which can be effectively used as material for regenerating tissue of desired shapes. CONSTITUTION: This porous supporter is prepared from a biodegradable glycolide/ε -caprolactone copolymer having a recurring unit of formula 1 and a weight average molecular weight of 10,000. In formula, x and y are each 18 or more. The porous supporter has a pore size of 1 to 800 microns and a porosity of 50 to 99%.
